Protesting for Positive Change And Combating Violent Extremism

Hate has no place in Ohio. That’s why in the immediate aftermath of violent protests organized by the so-called alt-right movement in the summer of 2017, For Our Future Ohio helped local groups and community leaders organize peaceful demonstrations conveying that Ohioans unequivocally reject racism and violent extremism.

Here are a few ways For Our Future Ohio has helped combat violent extremism:

In the weeks following the attack in Charlottesville, For Our Future Ohio also convened groups of activists and civic leaders for a series of “Resist. Mobilize. Win.” community conversations and trainings. The discussions and trainings — which took place in communities throughout Ohio — focused on protesting for positive change, combating extremism and the alt-right, and transferring grassroots energy into electoral power for 2018.
